Snow Profile Comments
3
From 2/11-2/20 Nearly 3" of SWE stack up on surface snow that grew sugary and remarkably weak during the January dryspell.
Comments
Continuing in the theme with no shortage of very connected avalanches near, around, and off of Moffit Peak... the finger chutes deliver a large slide, breaking deep and wide.
